Richard John King:
Handbook to the Cathedrals of England

As almost always, I retyped the text rather than scanning it: not only to minimize errors prior to proofreading, but as an opportunity for me to become intimately familiar with the work, an exercise which I heartily recommend. (Well-meaning attempts to get me to scan text, if success­ful, would merely turn me into some kind of machine: gambit declined.)

I ran a first proofreading pass immediately after entering each chapter, so that the text of all the chapters is quite good already. I've now started final proofreading: in the table of contents below, chapters whose text I believe to be completely errorfree are shown on blue backgrounds.

I haven't decided yet how much of the work I'll be putting online. There are at least 7 volumes totalling something like 2200 pages.

Edition Used

I am keying the text by hand from the original edition, John Murray, Albemarle Street, London, 1862.

Images with borders lead to more information. The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
